Makeup and Beauty Blog Saturday Night

I’d planned to write a couple more posts this afternoon, but I started playing with Photoshop and lost all track of time.

After Photoshopping I got the unrelenting urge to clean off my desk. The piles of paper have been holding me hostage! And that took a few hours, but I’m *finally* done. I’ve re-aligned my desk feng shui, yea! We’ll see how long that lasts…

I found a few goodies under the mess, like the sea biscuit I picked up in Key West and this bunny finger puppet (up top). He’s been gone a while… It was like finding buried treasure, I tell ya.

Tonight, I’m just chilling out at home. On the agenda: practice applying false lashes! I have a few pairs from Lash Addiction ($6 each) that I’ve been dying to try.

As for background music, I’m in trouble. I’m secretly trying to drive El Hub and Tabs crazy by playing Britney Spears’ Trouble over and over and over again until someone snaps, LOL!

What are you up to tonight? 🙂

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

P.S. MAC addicts — a quick update on the Chill collection. The release date has been moved up to December 18th! Woot, woot!

Makeup and Beauty Blog Saturday Night / Originally published December 13th, 2008

I get distracted easily too especially when I know I need to do something that I have no desire to do. For example, I am supposed to be cleaning up my guest room seeing what is sent to the Goodwill, trash or taken with me and instead I am browsing through my Google Reader and Youtube.

Tomorrow I will be packing the remainder of my things and Monday I will be saying good bye to the Valley.

AND… I got a letter from Guildhall School of Music and Dramatic Arts!!! I got a place in their summer school program for Shakespeare and Contemporary Drama!!!!
Damn I’m so happy! (excuse the exclamation mark abuse but dammit I’m happy)

This is too strange, I got a few pairs of Shu Uemura eyelashes a few days ago and I’ve been trying to practise putting them on. I’m hopeless. I thought you might have some ideas but it seems like you’re practising too. Anyway, is it just me or does Trouble sound a lot like it’s been written by Madonna?

Hi k
I was doing the same cleaning and organizing all day I also found a lot of treasures like all my old sketch books, a $50 macys gift card (LOL I am reserving this for mac chill now) the list goes on :). I have an idea – your photo shopped piece above would make fabulous wrapping paper you should find a local print shop that can print it for you !!!! How cute would that be! I love your bunny puppet I actually found some gumby toys in my bookcase remember those guys LOL happy Sunday!

I was playing with false lashes last night too! It ended in an unfortunate situation involving my real lashes and some rebellious Duo lash glue. It’s weird–I have absolutely no problem putting false lashes on anyone else, but I struggle doing my own. Until I perfect the art, my Shu curler and Diorshow Iconic do just fine 🙂

Hiya Karen!
Nice bunny 🙂
I found some buried treasure too today. U see, we get frequent powercuts, so I had bought a nice big red LED flashlight, and it went awol! Found it today sitting pretty inside a suitcase stashed in the loft!!

That’s so funny — I’m the opposite if you. I get asked by friends to apply makeup on them from time to time and I just can’t do it! The hardest thing is eyeliner… I’m so afraid of poking somebody’s eye out!

It’s freezing out here today it’s just past 1 and I need to really get Xmas shopping done ( I haven’t done much so far) I have been loafing around all day eating cinnamon toast in bed 🙂 watching the food network (my fave!) god I am in such a lazy mood MUST. GET. UP. I hope you are more productive than me 🙂

The finger puppet is so cute! My eyes have been so sensitive lately, I cry when I put eyeliner on T_T And yes, I’m planning to learn how to apply falsies correctly as well. I just got a free pair of Sephora lashes 🙂 For background music, I’m slowly driving myself emo by replaying Kanye’s “Love Lockdown” over and over in my headphone. I need to buy his new CD because I really like almost all the songs after listening online.

That photoshopped picture of you is amazing. No wonder you got so distracted. After reading this post I felt as though I should be cleaning up around my desk [my bed] and my bookshelf [the floor] as well, since finals have been kicking me in the butt and I haven’t had much time on my hands. I love fingerpuppets too. When Starbucks used to sell them, I’d always get one with my Tall Caramel Machiatto with extra caramel 😛 Hope your lash experiments go well.
